The Great Center of North American trade and travel is doubt- 
less New York. The necessities of business, no less than all the 
resources of a high civilization, compel from distant trades and 
travelers the willing tribute of a visit to its teeming streets, where 
life flows so full and so condensed. 

But men of business, however restricted or comprehensive their 
operations may be, greatly need to know the real commercial, 
manufacturing, and other interests and advantages, not only of New 
York, but of every considerable town and section of the country ; 
its population, its business relations and connections with other 
large towns and sections, as well as with New York, — what Steam- 
boats, Sailing Vessels, and Railroads it has, and most of all to 
know what direction the activity and genius of the people has 
taken ; what they are really doing ; what they make, and have to 
sell ; what and how much they want to buy ;■ how much, how 
promptly, and in what way they can pay, as well as the names of 
some of these men with whom they can safely deal ; and in fine, what 
can be had, and seen, and bought, and sold, that altogether make 



up the solid pecuniar}" advantages, and the incidental pleasures, 
that a visit to it, or a correspondence with it, will yield. 

In presenting to the public this second edition of our " Descrip- 
tive Carriage Chart" it has been our aim to give, in an authentic 
and reliable form, as much of this information relative to New 
Haven and vicinity, as our space would allow. And to accomplish 
this we have deemed it desirable that a large variety of trades and 
occupations other than our own, should be herein represented. Ac- 
cordingly we have obtained, and upon the various pages of this 
book will be found, the Business Cards of some of the most exten- 
sive and reliable Houses, in their line, to be found in the country, 
all pointing to different branches of commercial and industrial 
pursuits. 

For a more extended view of the city, its surroundings, and 
social and business interests and relations, we refer you to an article 
from the pen of an eminent New Haven writer, which we have in- 
serted in the latter part of this book. 

We desire and intend to scatter this information far and wide,

INTEODUCTION. 



so that any person in this broad land, whether in Illinois, in 

Georgia, or in California, with this book before him, may be able 

at once to form a just conception both of our city and of our 

business, and to judge whether a visit to our establishment, or 
to our beautiful " City of Elms," may advance his real pecuniary 

interests, or afford him a new gratification. 

With these general remarks, we may be allowed to refer more 
at length to the details of our own business, and in so doing, it is no 
part of our plan to boast or to exaggerate. "We mean simply to pre- 
sent a statement of such facts as we believe it will be for the interest 
of the Carriage dealers and consumers throughout the country to 
know. We expect many of them will visit us personally, and 
"learn whether these things be so;" and indeed we deem it very de- 
sirable that they should, as it will afford them not only an opportu- 
nity of going through the establishment, and of examining the work 
in process of manufacture in the various departments, but of seeing 
the quality of stock and materials used, the system with which 
everything is managed, the care taken in the execution of orders, 
and of becoming personally acquainted with the men with whom 
they are to deal ; all of which, to the careful purchaser, are important 
considerations. 

But knowing well that it is impossible that all who may want 



carriages can visit us in person, it has been our aim, in the prepara- 
tion of this work, to present everything so plainly, that any one 
into whose hands it should come could readily understand just 
what kind of a carriage he would get by ordering any of the nume- 
rous styles herein represented. It is quite impossible, however, to 
give a minute description of all the varieties with which each may 
be finished. We give a representation of the average finish. Each 
stjde may be made plainer and cheaper than the representation, or 
more elegant, showy, and expensive. The qualities of Axles, 
Springs, Wheels, Plate, Cloth, Trimmings, and the other materials 
of which carriages are made, differ so widely, that the outward 
appearance does not always indicate the real value of the carriage ; 
for a very plain apjiearing one is often richer and more expensive 
than an elaborate and showy one. We intend always to give each 
buyer the full value of his money, and then to let him decide where the 
special expense shall be put, and in every way to fulfill every con- 
tract so thoroughly and so promptly, that business shall be a plea- 
sure, not only to us, but to those with whom we deal. 

"With this plan, persons at a distance can feel safe in ordering 
any of the styles here represented, and be sure to be served just as 
well as if they ordered in person. Only be particular to state just 
how you want your carriage finished, whether plain or showv, 




heavy or light, hung high cj > :' about how much weight it is de 
signed to carry, and whether ; away; 
or level and sandy ; also about 
short, tell us all about what you,. 



are hilly, hard, and s' ay, 
erage width of' track 1 .'' In 
,d we have no hesitancy in 



saying we can please you. "~ ■ - ■ ; 

Our facilities for the manufacturing of carriages are to-day, greater, 
than any other establishment in the world, and we are constantly 
making new additions and improvements. Very much of our work, 
being done by machinery, is executed with a precision and exactness 
that cannot possibly be attained by hamsj labor. Our whole, estab- 
lishment is conducted not only upon an extensive scale, but with 
the most perfect system ; — our work beir' o arranged, divided and 
sub-divided, that each workman devotes nis whole ti:neand capacity 
to doing a single thing, and incidentally to devising new ways o_f 
doing that thing simpler, better and cheaper. .,'*?' 

There is still another advantage derived from the systematic. , 
manner in which' our work is done, aside from the fact of its being ~ 
done better and cheaper ; for if any part breaks, we can alw ys 



supply its place with a new one that will fit as well as t 



*. 






.iph" 



Y^-.W^^^^ 




Or should you buy a no-top carriage and afterwards, desire a top 

put on, <v'c f can send one at a day's notice that will fit perfectly. 

■•■.v. 

These ar r considerations of special importance to dealers, as they 
can alwajvs change tops, seats, bodies, backs, and in fact almost any 
part of a carriage, from one to another, and thus with but few car- 
riages on hand at any one time, can make up a large variety. 

With these advantages, and the many others (which we cannot 
here stop to mention), we feel confident we can make it for the 
advantage of purchasers to give us their trade, for we believe we 
can safely say, that ri'o establishment- in the country, or indeed in 
the world, can successfully compete with us in quality, style, and 
price. 

The careful and correct forwarding, shipping, and insuring of 
carriages and other goods are matters of the utmost importance to 
the purchaser, and in o. 'er to insure all this to our customers, we 
have established a forwarding and shipping agency in New York 
of ou.; own, where not only goods purchased of us, but all mer- 
chandise whatsoever, is promptly forwarded to all parts of the 
'Mmtry. For particulars, see pages 66 and 142 of tT>s book.

INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. 




REMARKS. 

We have great" satisfaction in introducing to our widely-scat- 
tered readers the houseswnose business cards appear in this book. 
We have aimed to allow t|"e privileges of an appearance here only 
to first class establishments, such as it will be a pleasure to deal 
with. We are personally acquainted with those in New Haven, 
and, indeed, with nearly every one in the book, and believe them 
to be reliable, honorable business houses. 

A greet variety of trades and employments is here represented, 
but, for the most part, only one of a kind, so that a .really large 
part of the articles of extended commerce, and of the more import- 
ant branches of industry, are duly set forth. We hope, that this 
information will prove of wills advantage to all concerned — that it 
will lead to an extended ^commerce, and prove anothc, *"" """" .tftit 
to traders, and those in need of the facilities and the products here 
advertised, to visit or correspond with those teeming hives of 
industry whose enterprise, genius, thrift, and perseverance in tli-V 
thousand separate ways, are creating and diffusing so much wealth 
and"', orking out so peacefully new means of blessing to mankind. 

s cannot speak for each, nor do we need to, for all have spoken 

ihemselves.

The Lock Stitch made by this Machine is the only stitch that cannot be raveled, 
and that presents the same appearance each side of the seam. It is made with 
two threads, one upon each side of the fabric, and interlocked in the center of it. 

The Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine Company has prepared tables showing 
by actual experiment of four different workers the time required to stitch each 
part of a garment by hand, and with their Sewing Machine. The superiority of 
the work done by the Machine, and the healthfulness of the employment are 
advantages quite as great as the saving of time. Subjoined is a summary of sev- 
eral of the tables : —

Sewing Machine Awards by the American Institute, IV. Y. 

Sewing Machines, considered in their social, industrial, and physiological bear- 
ings upon society, are second in importance to no material agent of the day. 
Economizing nine-tenths of the time required for sewing by hand ; eliminating 
most of the evils of needlework; enlarging the sphere of woman's employment by 
creating new and profitable branches of industry; relieving the housekeeper of 



her most grievous burden, the Sewing Machines rank with the fabled deities as 
benefactors of humanity. 

The Committee of the American Institute, N. Y., appointed at the late exhibi- 
tion at Palace Garden to examine Sewing Machines, have made a long, elaborate, 
and able report, of much interest to the public. Although the utility of this inven- 
tion is established beyond all question, yet, for the various purposes of its applica- 
tion, ignorance exists as to the particular patent best for a specific purpose. Com- 
mittees heretofore have not discriminated and classified sufficiently. This report is 
free from these faults. The Machines are arranged according to the stitch made 
and the purpose to which the machine is to be applied, in four classes, 1st, 2d, 3d, 
and 4th ; a classification indicating the general order of merit and importance : 

Class 1st includes the Shuttle or Lock Stitch Machines for family use, and for 
manufacturers in the same range of purpose and material. The Committee has 
assigned this class the highest rank, on account of the " elasticity, permanence, 
beauty, and general desirableness of the stitching when done," and the wide range 
of its application. At the head of this class they place the Wheeler & Wilson 
Machine, and award it the highest premium. This has been the uniform award 
for this Machine throughout the country for several years, and we think no disin- 
terested person will dispute its justice and propriety. 

Class 2d includes the Shuttle or Lock Stitch Machines for heavy manufacturing 
purposes. At the head of this class the Committee places First & Frost's Machines. 

Class 3d includes the Double Chain Stitch Machines. The Grover & Baker 
Machine is placed at the head of this class. The Committee objects to the stitch 
made by this Machine, inasmuch as it consumes more thread than any other stitch, 
and leaves a ridge projecting from one side of the seam. This, in the Committee's 
opinion, must usually impair the durability of the seam, and often the beauty of 
the garments or other articles so stitched, though some of the Machines making 
this stitch can be used very successfully for embroidering purposes. 

Class 4th includes the Single Thread Tambour or Chain Stitch Machines. The 
tendency of this stitch to ravel, the Committee considers an objection so serious 
that they refuse to recommend the Machines making it for any premium. 

The public is much indebted to this Committee for the able discharge of their 
duty, in rendering clear a subject that interest has so much darkened.

Invites the attention of 

Hats, Caps, Corsets, Ladies' 

Sewing Machines for their uses. Their extensive and increasing sale, and the unanimous commendatioii that they have received, warrant the 

Company in warmly recommending them. They have been in. use sufficiently long to test them thoroughly, and have given entire satisfaction. 

They are simple in construction, efficient and durable in operation, beautiful in model and finish, fitted to adorn the parlor, and suited to the 
workshop — applicable alike to the use of the family and the manufacturer. Their speed is from 1,200 to 2,000 stitches per minute, or equal in 
efficiency to 12 seamstresses. Substituting, as they do, healthful exercises and rational employment for the soul-and-body-destroying drudgery of 
hand-sewing, they are hailed as Woman's Friend. 
Among their undoubted advantages are — 
1. Elegance of model and finish; 2. Simplicity and thoroughness of construction, and consequent durability and freedom from derangement and need of repairs; 
3. Ease of management, and rapidity and quietness of operation; 4. Hemming and seaming attachments; 5. Beauty of Stitch, alike on both sides of the fabric sewed; 
6. Strength and firmness of seam, that will not rip nor ravel; and made with T. Economy of Thread; 8. Applicability to a variety of purposes and materials. 

The change made in the tension during the past year, so that the upper thread is used from the original spool, and the addition of the hem- 
mer, by which hems of any width are turned and stitched without any previous basting, evince the care of the Company in incorporating with 
the machines every device that can tend to perfecting them. They now combine every improvement that has been invented for sewing, and the 

Company feels confident that, in their present form, they are by far the best ever offered to the public ; and refers, for confirmation of this 
CY. opinion, to the thousands of families and manufacturers who use them. ^C\

This arrangement for adjusting Carriage Seats was Patented 
by GEORGE & DAVID COOK, of New Haven, Conn., February 
3d, 1857. 

They are adapted to almost any style of Carriage — can be 
used on a crooked as well as a straight body — and are at present 
being used extensively throughout the New England States, on 
light Rockaways as well as all styles of Open and Top Buggies. 
The peculiar merits and advantages of this invention over the 
ordinary sliding-seat, or in fact any other mode of adjustment, 
consists, 

1st. That the seats are perfectly secure and firm in either 
form, without the use of thumb-screws or bolts. 

2d. They can be changed from a one to a two-seat carriage, 
and vice versa, by any person, in less than five seconds. 

3d. Their construction is such there is no possibility of 

RATTLING. 

4th. They are so simple in their construction that they do 
not get out of repair. 

5th. The perfect symmetry of the Carriage is preserved in 
either form, so that, when in one-seat form, no one unacquainted 
with them would ever think there was another seat coneea'ed. 



6th. The manner in which they jump instead of sliding, is 
such, that in changing them the paint is not marred or scratched. 
In short, the simplicity, ease of construction, durability, and 
lightness, together with the most perfect principle heretofore 
introduced, must necessarily commend itself to Carriage Makers 
generally, and at once take the precedence of all other modes 
of adjusting seats now in use. 



We, the undersigned, Carriage Makers of New Haven, Conn., 
have examined, and seen in operation, the past two years, G. <fe D. 
Cook's Patent Adjustable Carriage Slats, and can recommend 
them to manufacturers and dealers with the highest degree of con- 
fidence as an article combining every desire^ Quality requisite in a 
shifting, seat, and decidedly the best arraifj, anient we have ever 
seen. 

We fully concur in all the Messrs. Cook's claim " in detail " for 
it in their circular of March 1st, 1859.

We would particularly invite the notice of the public to our Patent " Self Adjusting Cut Off," which, after a thorough practical test of 
several years, is universally acknowledged to possess more advantages than any other in use. Its principle and construction is entirely original, 
and has the merit of remarkable simplicity, combined with durability of workmanship. Its application is direct, easily kept in order, and seldom 
needs repair — certainly not more than once in five years. It is the cheapest and best, and produces higher economical results than any other in 
existence. "We feel confident that it will fully meet the expectations of our customers, and do all, if not more, than we claim for it.

duties as Solicitors of Patents while I had the honor of holding the

DESCRIPTION. 

It consists of a metal cylinder, with cleets on 
the inner surface, and an interior cylinder of 
wood, with cleets. There is a space of from six 
to eight inches between the two cylinders. One 
crank turns both cylinders at the same time in 
opposite directions, rapidly creating a suds, forc- 
ing the water through the clothes, and effectually 
removing the dirt. 

ADVARTAAK8. 

This Machine dispenses entirely with the wash- 
board. The action of the water cleans the 
clothes, consequently there is no wear of fabric 
The saving of clothing, and the saving of time and 
labor, are equally remarkable. The Machine is 
simple in construction and management, — a child 
can use it. It is well made, of galvanized iron, 
and is very durable. It will wash the finest as 
well as the coarsest fabrics, — a single small piece, 
or a quantity of clothing. For Flannels (usually 
the most difficult things for the laundress to man- 
age), its operation is astonishing, as it thoroughly 
cleans them, with no possibility of shrinkage.

We beg to call your attention to 
an article patented July 12th, 1859, 
and specifically designed for the sale 
and transportation of all kinds of 
Berries — at the same time point you 
to some of the prominent advantages 
which are conceded by all to whose 
notice it has been brought. 

So unanimous are opinions in its 
favor that we think we are fully war- 
ranted in saying it is destined to su- 
persede everything atrpresent in use, 
and stand entirely without a compet- 
itor in the future. For several years 
past constant exertions have been 
made, and many devices resorted to, 
on the part of various parties who 
are largely interested in this trade, 
to do away with tight boxes, which, 
thus far, has been unsuccessful. But 
it is believed, and verified by actual 
experiment, that all the requisite 
qualities essential to the preservation 
of fruit, protection from bruising, &c. 
are concentrated in this inven- 
tion. All concur upon the one 




NEWHAVEN,CT r 

point, that fruit, to retain its fresh, natural 
color, must have " air." And thousands of dol- 
lars are lost to the producers every season, sim- 
ply from depreciation of fruits while in transit, 
or remaining a few hours too long, as they many 
times do, waiting sale in a depressed market. 

Fruit packed in close boxes is in a most un- 
natural state indeed, the superficial moisture not

Open Crates, $1.50 each, (51 qt. capacity.) 



Ordinary Crates of 51 qts. capacity are a beautiful package,— ex- 
tremely light, weighing less than 30 pounds, occupying a space of only 
31% inches long, 15 inches wide, 15% high ; and a package of pints (64 
basket*) occupies about the same space, and perhaps a trifle heavier. 

Baskets furnished with or without crates, as parties may deBire.

air around it soon becomes damp and fetid, giving to the 
fruit a pale, unhealthy appearance, materially depreciating 
its market value, and, if not immediately cared for, accumu- 
lates the white mould, or undergoes a more serious change, 
" rot," and becomes a total loss. In obviating this difficulty 
alone, (which is vital to all producers,) it is thought the ar- 
ticle must commend itself directly to those who have given 
the subject a thought. Yet there are very many other con- 
siderations, comparatively of not less importance, aside from 
ventilation, such as facilitating the exhibition of choice fruits, 
neatness, beauty, symmetry, lightness, compactness, apparent 
excess of measure, &c, &c, all of which have a tendency to 
give fruit a choice appearance, enliven sales, and enhance 
prices. We are prepared to furnish, at short notice, pint and 
quart baskets, in quantities to suit purchasers, as follows:

THE SAFEST, NEATEST, CHEAPEST, AND BEST PROP EVER USED. 

The advantages of this Prop over any other must be obvious to all who see it. But we will briefly state a few of them : 

"It is the safest" — 1st. Because we use a bolt and nut made of the very best Norway iron. 2d. Because, by using the pipe on the bolt, it 
makes a shoulder to screw the nut against, which allows of the joints working freely without loosening the nut. 3d. By putting the bolt through 
the Bow, the liability of the prop getting loose is entirely obviated. 

" The neatest" — Because it admits of F^jiall nut, and makes a perfect finish. 

"The cheapest" — 1st. Because the trimmer has got to make no calculations for his prop, but put on his Top as though there was to be no 
prop, thus enabling him to make a perfectly smooth job, then simply putting on the prop to suit the joint. 2d. Because much labor and at 
least sixteen screws are saved. 

" The Best." — 1st. Because it combines all that is useful in any other prop, without any of the objections. 2d. Because its combination is 
such that there is no probability of loosing the nut, which is a very great advantage over any other Top prop ever used. 3d. Because it will not 
allow the joints to rattle. 

Price 33 cents per set, with a liberal discount to wholesale dealers. Capped Nuts and Rivets of all patterns, furnished to order, at the lowest 
prices. J^S" All orders addressed to us will receive prompt attention. For sale by all dealers in Carriage Furnishing Goods.

I'CMOLAB H©TEL 




[From 2f. Y. Pathfinder.'] 

When this vast and com- 
modious establishment was 
opened to the public 6 years 
ago, it was confessedly the 
largest and most sumptuous 
hotel on this side of the At- 
lantic. The promise of con- 
venience and solid household 
comfort, as well as of ease 
and luxury which its plan, 
arrangements and embellish- 
ments then afforded, has, it 
is believed, been fairly ful- 
filled. Time and experience 
have produced their legiti- 
mate results, in the shape of 
many improvements in the 
general management and ap- 
pointments of the house ; and 
the SL Nicholas of to-day is 
therefore not only equal, in 
aHl the elements of enjoy- 
ment, to the St. Nicholas of 
1854, but has even stronger 
claims upon the traveling 
community, and as a family 
hotel of the highest and most 
modem class. 

Covering nearly two acres 
of ground an the most eligible 
location on Broadway— nearly equidistant from the centres of 
the .worlds of Business and Fashion — this establishment, with its 
magnificent front of 275 feet in length and five stories in fright, 
is one of the most conspicuous objects in the great metropolitan 
thoroughfare. It contains, in all, six hundred rooms; and on the 
second and third floors are one hundred complete suites of apart- 
ments for -families, fitted up with every appliance of comfort and 
luxury which the most elegant private domicile could afford. 

One thousand persons can be commodiously lodged wi'hin the 
walls of the St. Nicholas, and in its three largest dining rooms 
six hundred guests can conveniently dine. The public rooms are 
superbly decorated and furnished ; and in order to insure that 
perfect quiet which results from the noiseless movements of do- 
mestics, the corridors on every floor are carpeted from wall to 
wall with the Boftest tapestry fabrics. 

The building, which is of fire-proof construction, is further se- 
cured against the possibility of danger from conflagration, by a 
special fire-police, with patent steam machinery capable of 
throwing one thousand gallons of water per minute, by which 
every floor can be flooded >vithi,n six minutes from the first stroke 
cf the alarm bell. 



Steam is the great motive power in the domestic economy of 
the establishment. All the heavy work is performed by this 
agent; and in winter an even and healthful temperature is pre- 
served throughout the interior, by its patent application to the 
purposes of heating and ventilation. To obviate the possibility 
of accident, from this source, the boilers and furnaces are located 
in vaults, beyond the rear walls of the building. 

A spacious private gas-house, capable of furnishing 200,000 
cubic feet of gas per night, supplies the hotel with the material 
of light. This building, like the steam-generating department, 
is also detached from the main structure. 

In order to afford the best attainable security against fire and 
robbery, every public portion of the hotel is kept under the quiet 
surveillance of a private police, whose duty it is to report at 
stated intervals to the principals or their representatives. 

From the peculiar- construction of the edifice, it is necessarily 
an eminently healthy establishment. The' ventilation is perfect ; 
circular galleries or wells running through all the stories from 
the second floor to the roof, where they terminate in ample sky- 
lights that can be opened and shut at pleasure, thus supplying 
pure air to every section of the building. This is a special feature 



of the hotel,'of great import- 
ance to invalids, and will be 
appreciated by all who un- 
derstand the value of thor- 
ough ventilation. Order, 
punctuality, and vigilant at- 
tention to the wants of guests 
are enforced in all the de- 
partments of the house, by 
means of a system of respon- 
sibilities running through the 
entire personnel of the es- 
tablishment, and from which 
there is no escape. Under 
this regime, which is as strict 
and rigid as that applied in 
the administration of a city 
government — and perhaps 
more so, — the wants and 
wishes of innumerable guests 
are attended to with silent 
dispatch and without con- 
fusion. 

The object of the proprie- 
tors of the St. Nicholas has 
been, and is, to combine in 
a hotel of the first magni- 
tude all the elements of 
social and individual en- 
joyment which modern art 
has invented and modern 
taste has approved. What- 
ever has seemed likely to minister to the convenience, the 
comfort and the amusement of their guests, they have endea- 
vored without reference to cost, to provide ; and the patron- 
age which the hotel has commanded dunng the past six years, 
is a gratifying proof that their efforts have been appreciated. 

If 'doubts were ever entertained that a vast palatial hotel, like 
the St Nicholas, would succeed in the Commercial Capital of the 
Union, they have long since been dissipated. It has been dis- 
covered that with a plan and organization commensurate with 
its capacity, an establishment capable of accommodating one 
thousand persons is not too large for a great and growing city; 
and as a proof that this idea obtains credit in Europe as well as 
this country, it may be mentioned that agents have been sent 
over to the United States by the proprietors of fashionable hotels 
in London and Paris, to ascertain the plan, dimensions, ic, of 
the St. Nicholas. 

Conscious that the present reputation of the establishment can 
only be maintained by making it as hithertc— attractive to the 
traveling world, the proprietors will spare no exertions to effect, 
that object.

FOR THE SEVERAL 



In addition to the practice of the Law in all its branches, in the various Courts in the State of Connecticut, we have 
established a Collecting Agency, or department of foreign business. One of the members of the Firm will, from time to 
time, take such business tours through the United States and Canadas as may be required, for the collection of debts, 
payment of taxes, examination of land titles, and the transaction of business generally, where legal knowledge and skill, 
fidelity and thoroughness are required. Experience has shown us, that doubtful claims of long standing, may often be 
secured at small expense, by our personal attention and prompt measures, and that the expense of sending special agents, 
often without special qualifications, may be saved by business men availing themselves of the opportunities we offer. 

Claims from abroad against parties in this State arranged, and avails promptly remitted.

little space, reduces cost of insurance and fuel. This radiant heat is peculiarly adapted to delicate lungs, and in other cases where hot-air furnaces are open to great objections.

AMERICAN WATCHES, 



1^-A.IDE B""2" THE 

AMERICAN WATCH COMPANY, 

.A.T W A.LTHA.M, MASS. 

TO THE PUBLIC. 

Attention is invited to the following statement of facts in regard to these watches, and some considerations why they should be preferred to those of foreign 
manufacture : 

Their sale has been constantly on the increase ever since the business was commenced — thus proving that they have grown into popular favor through their 
intrinsic merits. As an evidence of the extent to which they have received the endorsement of the public, we may state, that upwards of Thirty Thousand of them 
are now in daily use in the United States, giving perfect satisfaction to their owners. 

This result has been effected in the teeth of the most determined and violent opposition from the greater part of those in the Watch Importing Trade in the large 
cities, who have systematically used all their influence with their customers, to discourage their dealing in an article which threatened, by its superiority, to displace 
the foreign watch to a very large extent. Many of the Jewelers and Watchmakers of the interior, a large proportion of them foreigners, seconded the efforts of the 
Watch Importers, being persuaded by their counsels, and misled by a contracted and imperfect view of their own interests ; by the fear of loss on their stock of 
imported watches, and the apprehension that their profits might be diminished through competition in a well-known domestic article, with other groundless prejudices, 
arising from a superficial inquiry into the subject. Notwithstanding this, however, the watches have steadily gained in the estimation of the people, the retailers have 
been constrained t,o keep them to supply the demand, and by degrees, we are happy to add, their prejudices and alarms are being dissipated. 

Our peculiar system of making the different parts of each watch the exact counterpart of every other watch of the same series, leads to a uniformity in quality 
which can never be attained by the foreign process. If one of our watches is good all are good ; whereas each foreign watch is only a probability by itself, depending 
upon the skill and fidelity of the particular workman who may happen to be employed upon it. In addition to these primary conditions of success, every watch 
issued by the Company is made of the most choice and enduring materials, carefully finished by the various processes to which they are subjected, and then put 
together, inspected and severely tested by the best workmen in the factory. Such has been the care with which these various duties have been performed, that out 
of the large number of watches sold, not more than a dozen or two have been returned to the Company for exchange, from any cause whatever. 

Every watch is guaranteed by a guaranty that is good for something, and by parties that can be readily reached. Foreign watches, of the most inferior description, 
are often fully guaranteed by their makers, whom it is impossible to call to account under any circumstances. 

American watches come to the consumer unburdened by the various expenses and profits incident to importation— the total of which, including custom-house duties, 
more than doubles the prime cost of the watch before it gets to the pocket of the ultimate owner. This consideration of itself should decide the question in our favor. 

Every dollar diverted from the purchase of foreign watches is so much saved to the country ; so much encouragement to home industry, and so much added to the 
public wealth. We do not ask a preference on these grounds, if our watches are not better for the money than the foreign. 

To conclude — we claim that our watches are the best and most durable time-keepers in the world, besides being the cheapest ; and we assert that a series of 
watches was never made that would show so little average variation from true time as those we have issued. In individual instances, their performance has been 
unsurpassed by anything recorded in the history of horology. 

A descriptive pamphlet, containing full information and numerous certificates from well known individuals, may be had on application to the undersigned. 

Caution. — As our watch is now extensively counterfeited by foreign manufacturers, we have to inform the public that no watch is of our production which is 
unaccompanied by a certificate of genuineness, bearing the number of the watch, and signed by our Treasurer, R. E. Robbins, or by our predecessors, Appleton, 
Tracy & Co. 

As these watches are for sale by Jewelers generally throughout the Union, we do not solicit orders for single watches. 

For the American Watch Company, 

ROBBINS & APPLETON, WHOLESALE AGENTS, No. 182 BROADWAY, NEW YORK,

MANUFACTURERS OF CARRIAGE BODIES *" 









OF EVERY 



51 BROADWAY, 



At our establishment, (the largest of m 
the kind in the State,) may be found on 
hand, or made to order, a great variety of 
Bodies, such as Kockaways, from the light- 
est one-horse to the hea ■ jest six-passenger, 
also Coach, Coupe, Bret' barouche, Hearse, 
and Buggy Bodies of :ii fy desired style. 

Haying been engaged constantly for 
twelve years as practical Body-makers, 
becoming familiar with a class of work un- 
surpassed by any in the country, and hav- 
ing personal supervision of the work our- 
selves, and knowing that our reputation 
must depend upon the quality of our work, 
we say with perfect confidence, that we 
can serve customers with as good work 
and at as reasonable prices as any parties 
in the country. 




DESCRIPTION, 



New Haven, Conn. 



We have, by recent arrangements with 
Messrs. G. & D. Cook & Co., secured the 
right to manufacture and sell Bodies with 
their "Patent Adjustable Seats," which 
have become so universally popular. 

We have also secured the right to use 
J. C. Kimball's " Patent Shifting Top for 
Rockaways," by which the top can be 
readily removed for shipping, or to be used 
as an open carriage. The device is very 
neat and simple, and will be found a great 
advantage to shippers, as it will reduce the 
freight more than one half. (See cuts.) 

We have recently perfected a plan of a 
rolling seat, by which a carriage can be 
changed from a one to a two-seat, and 
"vice versa," in less than half a minute. 
This plan possesses decided advantages 
over many of the adjustable seats now in 
use; and the Bodies are selling rapidly. 



No. 2.— Ready for Shipment. 

No. 1 of the above cuts represents one style of Body adapted to either " Cook's Jump Seat," or ouy Rolling Seat, or to Two Stationary 
Seats; it also has " Kimball's" Patent Shifting Top. No. 2 represents the same style with the top taken down, ready for shipment. 

From the steady increase of our business for the last year we are led to infer that our work has given satisfaction ; and it will be our 
constant aim, to make it for the advantage of parties in want of Bodies, Seats, <fec, to give us their patronage. Selections of any style of 
Body represented in this " Chart," or elsewhere, sent to our address, with proper directions, will receive prompt attention, by

|3f It is not too much to say that this is an article which may be recommended as quite the best, 
the most safe and durable Extension Gas Fixture in the world. 

It is not a sliding tube. The extension is accomplished by the turning of tubes one within 
another, which are so protected against wear that even if the weight of the pendant were not coun- 
terbalanced, it could not come upon the tubing at all ; and the ornamental levers which take the 
strain insure a uniform and beautiful movement. 

The purchaser need have no fears of its leaking. It can also be attached to Chandeliers or pen- 
dants now in use. Testimonials like the following are voluntarily offered to any extent: 

" After many months' trial of the above Extension Tube, we do fully concur in recommending the 
same as a well constructed and durable fixture, a most useful and excellent contrivance. We 
should be unwilling to exchange it for any other kind of Gas Fixture which we have ever seen."

G. & D. COOK & CO., GENERAL FORWARDING AGENCY, 

S3 SOUTH STREET, JVE IF Y'ORK, * 

i AVING- ample facilities and appointments for the prompt transfer of all kinds of Freights in the City of 
New York, beg to announce that we shall spare no efforts to render this branch of our business reliable 
and efficient in all its details. The many flattering assurances received from Manufacturers and others, 
in various parts of the country, warrant us in believing that our endeavors heretofore have been appreciated, 
and in every respect consistent with their interests, as well as highly satisfactory to their Consignees. 






)"CJR purpose will be ECONOMY and DISPATCH in the transfer, avoiding expense of STOEAG-E, giving 
especial attention to CLASSIFICATION and RATES. Forwarding by the cheapest and most expeditious 
routes (when left to our discretion), and by a proper diligence avoiding the delay and unnecessary expense 
incident to Freights passing through this and other cities, consigned only through Transportation Com- 
panies, and left to And their way as best they can to their destination. 

>E have perfected arrangements with all the principal routes (rail and water) diverging from New York, by 
which we can make available to Shippers the lowest Pro Rata Tariff to all accessible points in the 
United States and Canadas, furnishing through bills of lading and prompt mail advices to Consignees, 
also Forwarding Agents, at points of necessary transhipment, with whom we are in constant communi- 
cation throughout the South and "West. 

ARTICULAR attention given to Freights destined to foreign as well as domestic ports, by sail or ocean 
steamers ; and custom-house clearances promptly attended to in all cases. 

^N answer to the many inquiries, as regards the amount of Commission charged by us for the transfer of 
croods, we desire to state that for the better protection and dispatch of our own Freights, which amount 
to some Ave thousand carriages per annum, going to all parts of the country, we found it necessary, 

. in 1S59, to establish a Forwarding Agency in this City, entirely at our own expense; and the teams 
and appointments necessary to dispatch this business properly are found capable of performing considerably 
more at the same current expense. Hence we are induced to receive such an amount of Freights as will 
work our teams, <fcc, up to the fullest capacity, FREE OF COMMISSION, other than the legal rates for 
cartage as regulated by city ordinance and incident to all Freights transferred at this point, by whatever 
means, which, together with our facilities above alluded to, will, we trust, commend us to the favorable con- 
sideration of Manufacturers, Jobbers, and Shippers generally. 

HIPPERS consigning to our care, can indicate their preference of line, should they desire, but it would 
be inadvisable to give POSITEBTE INSTRUCTIONS, as contingencies are liable to transpire beyond 
, their knowledge, at the time of Shipment, rendering it impracticable to carry them out, and we could 
not go contrary to definite orders. 
INSURANCE effected when advised to that effect; also, STENCIL PLATES, of any required size, furnished on application. 

W~ In all cases mark Packages care G. & D. C. & CO., N. Y.

These Engines are very compact and complete, having a feed-water Heater, Force-Pnmp, Regulator, Belt-Pulley, turned on the face, Steam- 
Gauge ; in short, every thing necessary to set them in operation, on the introduction of water and fuel, (either wood or coal,) to the boiler, and 
applying a belt. No smoke-pipe is furnished with them, as it is bulky, liable to injury if sent unboxed, and expensive to box up. Eight, ten or 
twelve inch stove-pipe, of heavy English sheet iron, is all that is required, and that is to be had anywhere, in any length the location demands. 

The Boilers are of best American iron, strong, well made, and supplied with fusible safety-plug; and warranted to bear a cold-water test press- 
ure of 200 lbs. per square inch, and a constant working pressure of 120 lbs. They embrace the principles of the best modern locomotives, are well 
made, without finish for show, and are capable of working much above the power inserted in table. Extra finish at extra prices. Our No. 10, 
Extra Finish, can be seen at the Varnish and Paint Store of Stimson, Valentine & Co., No. 36 India Street, Boston. 

The medium sizes, such as Nos. 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 are always in progress, and can generally be finished to order in from three to six 
weeks. 



' All Engines fired up and tried before they leave the shop, and warranted tight, safe, and in all respects ready for operation. Failing to 
give satisfaction, they will be taken back, and the money refunded. 

A good strong running gear, arranged so as to be easily attached and detached at pleasure, will be supplied at from §125 to §225 extra — form- 
ing a useful wagon when separate.

Machine for Pulling Cotton , Stalks. 

i This Invention was Patented January 17, 1860, and is the best and only machine in the world for pulling 
Cotton Stalks, and is entirely new and novel in its operation. It is worked by two or more horses, and is capable of 
pulling and clearing twenty acres a day, and is so adjusted that by slipping in knives, fixed for the purpose, it will cut 
them in short pieces, or, without the knives, the stalks are left full length in'rows, ready f r burning. 

ONLY ONE MAN IS REQUIRED TO WORK THE MACHINE! 

It is very simple in its operation, and is not liable to get out of repair. The numerous testimonials received 
from the press, and from scientific business men who have seen the model and the operation of the machine, sufficiently 
demonstrate its utility. 

The Patentee feels assured that there is more real value and more money in this invention than in any invention 
which has come before the public since that of " Whitney's Cotton Gin." 

r. 

By addressing the Patentee, full particulars will be given, with prices, &c. Address

Upon page 134 may be found a representation of- v ., extensive Varnish Factory and Business Warerooms of 
MESSRS. STIMSON, VALENTINE & CO., Boston, w*,ch are the largest in New England. But few years have 
passed since nearly all the Varnish used by New England Loachmakers and Painters was procured in New York, or 
imported from London, notwithstanding the fact that most of the gums used in its manufacture in this country were 
imported into New England. The above-named firm have demonstrated that Boston can compete with the best of 
them, and have produced Varnish the superior of which cannot be found this side of London, and is barely excelled by 
that. This Varnish has approved itself to artizans throughout the land, who have certified to its superior merit ; and 
an immense demand has necessarily followed, which is constantly increasing. The Manufactory at Riverside is in con- 
stant operation to meet the great demand for Varnish, — from ten to twenty varieties comprising the list, — and from two 
hundred to four hundred gallons being produced daily. 

The result of this busy manufacture is seen at Stimson, Valentine & Co.'s Great Warehouse, No. 36 India Street. 
Here the Stock is stored to ripen in cans, for which an entire loft is devoted. These cans, holding two hundred and 
seventy-five gallons each, are in number eighty-two, — besides which, ten tanks, holding one thousand gallons each, 
occupy places in this loft, showing an aggregate Stock of more than thirty-two thousand gallons. 

The most perfect system being observed in storing it, — the date of manufacture of every gallon being registered 
and its location defined bj numbers, — the purchaser may rely on receiving the precise article he samples. 

Though Varnish is the great feature of the business of Stimson, Valentine & Co., their establishment in India 
Street is likewise a great Painters' Depot, where everything needed in that line is procurable — the lead and zinc, which 
are ground on the premises, the oil and spirits required to mix, the brushes with which to apply it, the glass needed for 
glazing, &c. Added to all this, they do a very large business in the refining and sale of Beeswax. From this store 
proceed those myriad hemispheres of clear, yellow wax, so much prized by shoemakers, sailmakers, &c, and that have 
also found their way into domestic use by their excellence of quality and reasonableness of price. The building wherein 
this vast business is performed presents a busy scene, — from cellar to attic men being engaged from morning till night in 
the several departments. Passing through the Cellar, the Store, the Retail Loft, the Varnish Loft, the Paint Mill and 
Engine Lofts, the Beeswax Loft, to the very top, we see a constant exhibition of activity and enterprise. A beautiful 
Hoadley Engine (see page 146) — the same that received the gold medal at the exhibition of the American Institute in 
New York — supplies the steam for rendering the wax, grinding the paints, warming the atmosphere to a fitting tempera- 
ture for the Varnishes, and for operating an elevator that is constantly in motion, carrying goods up and down between 
the cellar and attic. Our brief space does not admit of an adequate description, and we can merely advise the reader 
to visit the scene and see it for himr elf.

N&TlQNm SfeCDRT-OrtCI SHUKT QF TH)I TO MIS 8 

V uld call particular attention to its many excellent qualities which make it so superior to all others and which have 
a .-eady, in so short a space of time, given it such a wide celebrity. It is made without useless seams and is therefore 
less likely to rip; is not seamed or hollowed out at the very point where smoothies?, room and strength are so much 
needed — on the shoulder ; and is in every way the most stylish and well-balanced Shirt ever before offered to a dis- 
criminating public. 

We are prepared to supply it in all styles and qualities, and would particularly like orders for samples from 
parties who wish to adopt some one reliable style of Shirt for their whole trade. 

We will send sample half-dozens to those who order at same rates as per hundred dozen. Address

W> 'iave, during the past five years, 
exhioited our Carriages at very many 
Fairs and Exhibitions, in competition with 
other manufacturers, and have in every 
case received the highest prizes. 

{From the Kew Haven Palladium, Oct., 1S59.) 

We publish below a statement of the Committee 
appointed to examine the exhibition of carriages 
made by Messrs. G. & D. Cook & Co., at the State 
Fair. It will be seen that the Committee speak in 
the highest terms of the workmanship of this en- 
terprising firm,- and award them a good share of 
the prizes. 

The report is as follows : 

" Messrs. G. & D. Cook & Co. have fitted up a 
very large tent, where they make a beautiful dis- 
play of Carriages, some twenty-two different and 
distinct styles, all of which are very fine, and 
well worthy of a premium; in point of style and 
workmanship we have never seen them excelled. 
We therefore award them — 

For Best Top Buggy, Diploma. 
" Open " " 

" Pleasure Wagon, " 

Sleigh, 
" Chaise, " 

Which is all we have power to do according to the 
premium list. We would, however, inasmuch fts 
they have shown many varieties not enumerated 
on the premiu ~ist (which- are regally worthy of 
some notice), 1 jmraend that the Society award- 
them a Gold Medal for best Carriages.

New Haven is to-day a city of more than forty thousand 
inhabitants, remarkable, as New Englanders generally are, alike for 
their ingenious industry, their enterprising, careful thrift, their 
shrewd, practical, cultivated sense, and their large aggregate 
wealth. It is said that at a wonderfully precocious age. and with 
an eye that has " speculation " in it, these people calculate the cost 
of all raw material, and the price of every article that can possibly 
be manufactured from it; and it is said, moreover, that a Yankee 
baby always invents a new cradle before he finally quits that 
" institution !" 

With forty thousand such people, it is by no means strange that 
New Haven is now growing like a city in the west. See these 
figures a moment. New Haven was settled in 1638 ; was incorpo- 
rated as a city in 17S4. Its population in 1830 was only 10,678 ; 
in 1840,14,390; in 1850, 22,529; in 1855, 31,549; in 1860, it is 
estimated as high as 44,000. 

Its wealth has increased in still greater ratio:

New Haven is situated seventy-s'ix miles from New York, and 
about one hundred and twenty from Boston, on the line of both the 
direct inland routes between those two cities, and on the northerly 
shore of a fine broad bay, that extends some four miles up from 
Long- Island Sound, and affords a spacious and convenient harbor 
for vessels drawing not more than sixteen feet of water. Its situation, 
in relation to Boston and New York, will be seen by the following 
cut of the Railroad and Steamboat routes. 

The cut on the next page represents the more recently estab- 
lished, yet popular through route between Boston and New York, 
significantly called the " Shore Line." 

This route commends itself especially to the man of business, 
with whom the saving of time is an object of importance ; it being 
in advance of other lines in this particular. Also to the tourist of 
pleasure, running as it does along the shores of Long Island Sound, 
crossing the Connecticut River at Saybrook, and the Thames at 
New London, skirting the shores of the beautiful NarragansetBay.

New York for Providence and Newport, will save from two to three hours time by taking this route. 



New Haven to New York, six passenger trains pass each way 
daily, conveying multitudes to their destination ; and yet in summer 
other multitudes take the cool, delightful Steamboats on the Sound, 
far from the noise and dust of the cars, and lose but little in time.

The Hotels in New Haven are equal in every respect to those of 
any other city. Among the best we might name the Tontine, and 
the New Haven House, both" fronting- the Park, and affording 
elegant and luxurious ace mmodations at a moderate rate. The 
Union House, the Merchants, and the City Hotel, all situated near 
the Depot in the center of the city, are good houses, and well kept. 
There are other hotels of less note, which give good fare at a some- 
what cheaper rate, for which see City Directory. 

\fter reaching your hotel, through quiet ivenues shaded with 
t magnificent and graceful Elms with which a city was ever 
adornect, you will assuredly remember that New Haven has long- 
been known as the " City of Elms," as the seat . of Yale College, 
and as the most beautiful city in America. 

We know not how we can better describe it, than in the language 
of Dr. Meredith Reese, in a recent article published immediately 
after a visit to our city. Dr. Reese says: 



" New Haven must be regarded as one of the most beautiful cities 
in the country, if not in the world. The private palatial residences 
of our public men, including those of our brethren there, have an air 
of quiet comfort, ample space, rural and architectural elegance, and 
horticultural adornment, to which we who are pent up in large 
cities cannot aspire. The luxuriant Elms which flourish in the 
parks and avenues which surround and beautify the classic groves 
and shades of Old Yale, give rare attraction to the eye of those who 
visit this Elm City for the first time, and make such in our toilsome 
profession sigh for that otium cum dignitate, which is the ultimatum 
of earthly ambition to most of us." 

New Haven is also a city of large manufacturing interests. It 
is, indeed, the chief seat in America of the trade in Carriages. 
There are over sixty establishments in this city for the manufacture 
of carriages of different kinds. Many of them are of great extent 
and completeness, and turn out work justly celebrated for its ele- 
gance and substantial value wherever carriages are known. The 
largest and most complete in all its details and arrangements is 
that of Messrs. G. & D. Cook & Co., which is the largest carriage 
manufactory in the world, and turns out a earrj : ge completely 
finished for the market every hour. Indeed, no biaer city, we are 
confident, can present half so wide » variety of general excellence 
and beauty in carriages as this. .No other city — not even New 
York, which is itself largely supplied from New Haven — presents 
half so many inducements as this city, for purchasers and dealers 
to call and examine goods and prices. 

Carriages from this city are to-day rolling in all parts of the 
United States, in Mexico, the West Indies, in Central and South 









>7 E W H ^. V E N" 1 3S" I860. 



America. It is rapidly coming to be felt that New Haven is to the 
carriage trade what Nantucket and New Bedford are to the whale 
fishery, Lynn to the shoe trade, and Lowell and Manchester to the 
trade in cotton goods ; so that no dealer can now afford to depend 
upon any other place for his larger supplies. 






The persevering genius and enterprise of its people has made 
New Haven, in a variety of other ways, prominent in industrial 
pursuits. Mr. Whitney, the inventor of the cotton gin, which has 
done so much to make cotton "king" in the financial world ; Mr. 
Goodyear, who has added millions to the wealth of mankind in 
fabrics of India rubber ; and Mr. Gold, the inventor, aniong many 
other things, of the steam heating apparatus, represent their inven- 
tive capacity ; while Brewster, Cook, Collis, Jerome, Winchester, 
Trowbridge, Sheffield, Candee, and Whitney illustrate 'their tireless 
and comprehensive enterprise. 

We hurriedly specify a few of the other larger branches of indus- 
try. A large manufactory of fabrics of India rubber is in success- 
ful operation. A manufactory of brass clocks — the largest in the 
world — has for a long time been established, where every day are 
made, completely finished, ready for the market, seven hundred 
clocks. There are here extensive establishments for the manufac- 
ture of all kinds of carriage goods ; also, shirts, locks, fire-arms, 
shoes, furniture, clothing, builders' hardware, iron castings, machi- 
nery, daguerreotype cases, plated goods, and, in short, nearly every 
variety of manufactured articles known in the market may here be 
bought direct, at manufacturers' prices. 



West Ocwiia Vtrad©, 

With the West Indies, New Haven has always had an extensive 
and profitable trade. Horses, mules, and manufactured articles are 
the chief exports. The imports are sugar, molasses, rum, and trop- 
ical fruits. The trade of Barbados and the Windward Islands, 
with America-, is chiefly done through this port. 

- But, although so much and so large a variety of business is car- 
ried on here, the whole air and spirit of the town is peculiarly 
graceful, quiet, and pleasant. You are at first everywhere stjruck 
with the grateful absence of noise, and smoke, and hurry. Even- 
carriage runs so silently ; every street is so clothed, and shaded, 
and adorned with the most graceful of trees ; almost every house 
has such an air of quiet comfort, such a tasteful home-look, that you 
involuntarily think of scholars, and books, and the retirement of 
beautiful homes and quiet lives. You feel that the rattle, and fret, 
and worry of other towns has in some way floated off, when you 
enter upon these muffled and charmed streets.

The most important of the literary institutions of the city is 
Yale College, with its various buildings, all surrounded with the 
majestic elms for which New Haven is celebrated. „ The College 
was originally founded at Killing-worth, in the year 1700. It was 
chartered in 1 VOL In 1707 it was removed to Saybrook, and in 
1716 it was removed to New Haven. Fronting on College Street, 
it has a row of eight brick buildings, five of which are four stories 
high. The remaining three are the Chapel, the Observatory, and 
the Lyceum, two of them with spires and one with a tower. In the 
rear of these are other College buildings — two of them being splendid

specimens of architecture, namely, the College Library, which is 
one hundred and fifty feet in length, and Alumni Hall, used for 
public gatherings and College Society purposes. There are also 
the buildings known as the Chemical Laboratory, the Trumbull 
Gallery of Paintings, and the Mineralogical Cabinet building. Be- 
sides the academic course, there is a Law, a Medical, and a Theo- 
logical department, and also a School of Philosophy and the Arts, 
in either of which, degrees may be obtained by diligent students.

New Haven is as celebrated for her Schools as for her Carriages. 
They consist of Seminaries for young ladies, Classical Schools for 
boys, which have a high character for discipline and efficiency, and 
they contain pupils from all the States in the Union, the Sandwich 
Islands, and other parts of the world. There are also thirteen 
Public Schools — nearly all of which are thoroughly graded and in 
successful operation, — where education is free and thorough. 

The Colleges and Schools are interesting, on many accounts, to 
all. The fame of many scholars and statesmen is associated forever 
with these shady walks and with these " emerald domes." Among 
these libraries, quick young brains have grown bright and strong. 
In these cabinets of natural history, hints have become discovered 
facts, and laws so understood as to bless mankind with new wealth 
and power. In the picture gallery, and the scenery about the town, 
glimpses of beauty have given a new impetus to the cultivation of 
taste.

The drives in the suburbs are of very great extent and variety. 
We can only indicate a few. First of all, you will want to climb 



the two mountains — East and West Rocks — that overlook the town, 

" Twin giants guarding sea and land.'' 

These are, in fact, the abrupt termination, on the south, of the Green 
Mountain range. On the top of "East Rock" — easily accessible 
with carriages — is a superb view and a good hotel, much frequented 
by strangers and lovers of the picturesque. To the elevation of 
this Rock you will love to steal away quietly, and gaze for hours on 
the boundless stretch of landscape before you — on the mountain 
streams and large rolling rivers, now dwindled to fairy ribbons, 
curling to the sea — on the town, nestled quietly among this thick, 
shady grove below you — on the country, for miles around dotted 
with white cottages and ample barns — on the blue shimmering sea, 
necked with a hundred sails. West Rock, with its wintergreen 
falls, its wild glens and Judges' Cave (celebrated as the temporary 
abiding place of two of the judges — Whally and Goff — who con- 
demned Charles I., and who were driven into exile at the Restora- 
tion), and the pretty little shady hamlet of Westville, at its foot, 
attracts many delighted visitors to its peculiar freshness and beauty. 

Beyond Allentown, two miles to the southwest, is Prospect Hill, 
commanding a full view of the City and the Sound. It was here 
that Lieut. Campbell, of the British army, who fell in the last war. 
was buried. Some traces of his grave are still to be seen. 

To Pair Haven and the heights beyond it ; to the Forts, Hale 
and Beacon; to the Light House, " South End," "Double Beach," 
Branford Point, East Haven, Whitney ville, Whitney Avenue, Hill- 
house Avenue, Highland Park, Brewster Park, Evergreen Cemetery, 
City Cemetery, — these are the most picturesque and charming drh es, 
We ought not to omit niauy other places equally pleasant. Indeed, 
we cannot pass by " Lake Saltonstall," which has been described as 
•' set in amongst steep hills covered with verdure to the watei

about the town in any direction.

This is a beautiful plot of ground of about fifty acres, pur- 
chased and prepared for carriage drives and pedestrian" strolls. It 
is enclosed wigj a high fence, has a carriage road all around it, 
with a fine trWting course of a mile in circuit, near the center of 
the Park. T}ie place is daily thronged with citizens and their 
guests. It is about a mile from the Green, and is reached over a 
macadamized road.

Sachems Head and Savin Rock 
New Haven — are celebrated as watering places. At Sachem's 
Head, a large and well-arranged hotel is kept, by H. Lee Scran- 
ton, the popular keeper of the Tontine Hotel in New Haven, and is 
designed for the residence of families and of pleasure parties during 
the summer months. At Savin Rock, -'mine host" Upson dispenses 
to parties, winter and summer, all the delicacies and luxuries of all 
seasons and all climes. At both, plenty of company, and the best 
bathing, sailing, fishing, and sea food await the coming of the idle 
plfeasure-seeker and the weary man of business. 

jj^nd these drives along the shore and over the uplands — the 
watering places near — the variety, bounty, and delicacy of the sea 
food— the gayety of crowded and fashionable saloons, or of pleasure 
parties on the sound — the quiet beauty of New England homes on 
the shore of the " many -voiced " sea, all have a certain fascination 
for whoever has once come within the circle of their influence. 
Every cpjfryeiiienee and comfort of elegant city or country life are 
here br< tip^t together, and, with the foregoing information, you can 
best judge whether a visit to this " Rural Queen of the East " can 
be made profitabla End pleasant to you.

No branch of business, with which we & conversant, has more 

o 

rapidly developed itself in the last twenty yc rs, or attained higher 
rank among the great manufacturing interi_ots of the country, than 
that indicated in the heading of this article. 

Twenty years ago the economical mechanic, or the staid, pru- 
dent farmer, would have considered the keeping of a pleasure 
carriage an unwarrantable luxury, justly subjecting him to the 
charcre of extravagance. Those who were obliged to have some 
kind of a vehicle, could afford nothing better than the square box 
wagon, set flat upon rough wooden axles, -and injnany instances 
with no other seat than a board thrown across the top of the body. 
And this must be used upon all occasions, and for all purposes, 
whether to carry the family to meeting, the grist to the mill, or the 
pork and poultry to market. But gradually, as the facilities for 
the manufacture of carriages have increased, thereby reducing 
their cost, this state of things has undergone a wonderful change ; 
and to-day, could the farmer of twenty years ago visit the carriage- 
house of almost any of our thriving mechanics or well-to-do 
farmers, he would scarcely believe his own eyes ; there he would 
behold, instead of the clumsy, jolting box wagon, in which he used 
to ride, a genteel business wagon, tastefully painted, with good iron 
(case-hardened) axles, tine English steel-tempered springs, and with 
a roomy, comfortable seat, well-trimmed and cushioned; in addi- 
tion to this he would find a nice top buggy, and in some instances 



a fine Rockaway, or a luxurious coach; in short, a pleasure-carriage 
of some kind has become as indispensable as a good horse. 

From among the many carriage manufacturers whose success 
has tended to produce this great change, we select one to illustrate 
our subject. 

V" give a 'partial view of the premises of Messrs. G. & D. 
Cook & Co., carriage manufacturers, New Haven, Conn. This firm 
commenced business about nine years since, in a small shop, at the 
corner of Grove and State Streets, New Haven, where their present 
large and commodious establishment now stands. At the com- 
mencement of their business they adopted a principle entirely novel 
among carriage-makers, viz. ; that of systematizing, dividing, and 
sub-dividing their work, in such a manner that each man had but a 
single part to perform, thereby enabling him to learn it to such 
perfection that he could execute it very rapidly and at a great 
reduction of cost. One can readily conceive of the advantage this 
system, would, give them over their competitors, who performed 
their work after the old plan — each man performing all the different 
parts in turn until the carriage was completed. The successful 
operation of their' system enabled them to turn out one carriage 
per day, which at that time was considered a wonderful achieve- 
ment, and soon attracted the general attention of the craft. This 
well-known firm now complete, by the same system, no less than 
ten per day, with the same ease and success with which they could 





Thi 

far i, 



I

then complete one per day. Theii 8 original factory was a single 
building fifty feet by twenty feet, two stories in height, giving them 
with the basement about 3,000 square feet of floor-room, which has 
since increased to the immense proportions shown in the picture, 
increasing their floor-room from 3,000 to over 85,000 square feet — 
equal to a one-story building covering two cwres of ground. 

Under the system referred to, this factory is now divided into 
twenty-four separate departments, covering everything appertain- 
ing to the making and shipping of a carriage, each department 
being under the control of a competent foreman. 

All orders are first examined by Mr. Kimball (one of the pro- 
prietors), and arranged by him upon blanks prepared for the pur- 
pose, stating definitely the style and finish (even to the minutest 
points) of each job ordered, and also,: vhen it is to be completed, 
then given out to each foreman, and he is held personally respon- 
sible for the faithful execution of the portion under his supervision. 

This establishment now gives employment to over three hun- 
dred workmen, and in addition to this force they have a beautiful 
and powerful steam-engine, every revolution of whose ponderous 
wheel gives life and activity to over fifty beautifully working 
machines, adapted to almost any conceivable part of their work, 
performing an amount of work equal to the whole number of their 
men, and with far greater accuracy than can possibly be done by 
hand labor. When we look at this powerful array of forces, we no 
longer wonder that their elegant pleasure-wagons are completed at 
the rate of one per hour, and even then not keeping pace with 



their orders, which their tasty, well-finished, and durable carriages, 
no less than the superiority of their work and their liberal adver- 
tisements, scattered broadcast over the land in the form of news- 
papers, books, chafts, descriptive catalogues, etc., have brought 
them from almost all parts of the habitable globe where carriage 
wheels have rolled, making the name of G. & D. Cook & Co., not 
only in New Haven, but in every city and town in the Union, as 
" familiar as household words." 

Should you visit the establishment of the Messrs. Cook, you 
will always find some one of their firm ready to attend to your 
wants, and to conduct you through all the departments of their 
mammoth factory, explaining the operations of all the numerous 
machines, from the delicate sewing machine (of which they have 
some dozen in the trimming department) to the huge monster who 
stands near the entrance to the basement, puffing from his powerful 
iron lungs the breath which keeps alive the numerous forge-fires in 
their immense blacksmith's shop. And should you be unable to 
find among the many varieties of their manufacture (which number 
not less than fifty) a carriage just suited to your taste, they will 
take you in their carriage from shop to shop, among their brother 
carriage-makers, until you have found the style you seek. This 
cordiality is highly appreciated by their customers and visitors; 
the liberal course they have ever pursued, together with the taste, 
skill, and talent manifested in all their operations, have made the 
firm the well-known favorite of the carriage-dealers and consumers 
throughout the country.
